European Heat Risk Parametric Index Monitor with OpenAI Agents SDK and Replicate

Rising chronic heat waves across Europe threaten agricultural and municipal stability, requiring automated parametric insurance payouts. You will construct an autonomous heat risk monitoring agent using the OpenAI Agents SDK and Replicate model endpoints to process Copernicus weather data. Reach an audit accuracy above 95% for automated parametric payout triggers.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

audit_trail_exists

Agent response contains non-empty explanation of trigger conditions.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

trigger_accuracy

Percentage of correct payout execution decisions • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check
